2026 season
Thomas appeared in 23 games and started 10. At the plate, he recorded:
.148 batting average
27 at-bats
4 hits
2 runs
1 RBI
5 walks
10 strikeouts
.281 on-base percentage
.148 slugging percentage
1 stolen base in 2 attempts
1 double play grounded into
His four hits included a two-hit game, which Berea's season statistics identify as his only multi-hit game. He also had a two-game hitting streak, with one hit still active at the end of the season.
His pitching role
Thomas also pitched out of the bullpen. Berea's final 2026 statistics show:
4 appearances
4.0 innings
0–0 record
15.75 ERA
5 hits allowed
7 runs / 7 earned runs
4 walks
2 hit batters
7 strikeouts
So despite the high ERA, he was used in several relief situations and recorded 7 strikeouts in only four innings.
One of his better outings came during Week 4, when he pitched one scoreless inning without allowing a hit or walk.
Later in Week 11, he threw 2? innings and allowed no earned runs, although he did issue two walks.
A notable final-week performance
Thomas finished the season with a strong offensive game against Manchester. Berea's Week 12 recap records him going 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI.
